There will be a full day of exhibits, music, heritage art demonstrations, games and much more going on from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Our first fair last year was very successful,” said Dawn Barnes, one of the event organizers. “We had more than 600 people last year and we’re expecting more this year.”

Some of the activities include a 4-H Livestock show, youth and adult fair exhibits, antique farm equipment, a hog calling contest, cow patty bingo and lots of live music.

“We will have a lot going on to please everyone,” Barnes stated.  “We will have 12 vendors this year, which is an increase over last year’s, plus we 12 Heritage Artesian vendors as well.”

“Our fair exhibits are just like the kind you see at the old county fairs were children and adults can compete for ribbons,” said Barnes. “We will have everything from photography exhibits to home grown vegetables.”
